I:> A perusal of the interesting report of the confer- ences held by the deputation from the West Riding, with the various members of the Cabinet, shows that these arguments, as well as their consequences, are understood by some of the most influential; whilst in others, such as the Duke of Buckingham, Lord WharnclifFe, and Lord Lyndhurst, it appears that these representations excited novel and original views of things. The immense question of the power and tendency of machinery, which is at the bottom of all our social relations, must be canvassed in a sober and impartial manner, for, counteracted as machinery is by restrictive laws, its natural effects cannot be properly estimated by the masses, who are apt to attribute to a greedy competition for money what is in reality the result of the necessity to live and to keep capital productive-untier the burden of an unexampled national debt, that is grinding us to the earth. One thing is evident—that we have advanced too far in the manufacturing career to recede, even were it desirable. We have called into existence a sur- plus population, dependent upon foreign commerce for subsistence, and the present value of all property, from the three per cents, to the landowner's rental, has been caused and is sustained by that foreign commerce. All that remains is to make the best of our situation our end ought to be, not to depress one class of society for the sake of another, but to elevate all simultaneously and this, motion of as- cension is not to be effected by crippling the capi- talist. The first step towards amelioration is clearly to get rid of the Corn Laws. Cheap food alone ena- bles the foreign manufacturer to compete with the Englishman, and dear food alone obliges our work- men to subject their females and children to 14 hours' daily work in a mine or factory, with all its evil consequences. It appears to us that this is our first and obvious remedy. It will be found that the effect of machinery under a system of unrestrained trade, is always to create ultimately a demand for la- bour greater than that which is annihilated. We feel much obliged by the politeness of the com- missioner, who forwarded to us the Report of the Children's Employment Commission, and shall give extracts in our next.
FIRE AT HAMBURGH.
FIRE AT HAMBURGH. The accounts from the once flourishing City of Ham- burgh, descriptive of the sufferings of the inhabitants, who, to the number of 30,000, have been rendered houseless, naked, and utterly destitute by the late calamitous fire, are tiuly afflicting. A numerous and highly influential meet- ing of the British residents in that city was held lately at the Consulate, Colonel Hodges, her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Hamburgh, in the chair. At this meeting an appeal to the British Nation, praying for assistance to wards alleviating the sufferings of the unhappy people (many of whom are our own poor fellow-subjects), who have been deprived of their all, and exposed to the hor- rors of destitution and famine by this awful visitation of Providence, was unanimously adopted. A petition to her Majesty was also agreed to, imploring her Majesty to sanc- tion and encourage by her countenance and support the object of the appeal. This appeal has been nobly re- sponded to by the people of this country, who are aiding by their subscriptions the fund now raising for the relief of ihe country who are aiding by their subscriptions the fund the sufferers by the conflagration. Lists of subscriptions ue now lying at all the London bankers, and at most 01 the provincial banks. There is one at the Monmouth and (Glamorgan Bank, in this own, which we trust will receive the names of many of our fellow-townsmen.

WHIT MONDAY.—The friends of religious educa- tion in our town and neighbourhood, could not have failed to experience a feeling of high gratification, in witnessing the pro- cession formed on Monday last, by the children belonging to the Sunday schools connected with the Newport Sunday School Union. The schools, upon leaving their respective places of worship, proceeded aloag Commercial-street and up Stow,hill, to the field adjoining the church, where appropriate addresses were delivered to the children, teacheis, parents, and friends, by ministers connected with the union. The number of children assembled amounted to little short of 1200, and of teachers about 130, besides a large concourse of friends, whom an inte- rest in the proceedings of the day had brought together. The fineness of the day and the beauty of the spot tended greatly to enhance the pleasureable feelings excited upon so gratifying an occasion. The sweetness and accuracy with which each school sang its appointed hymn, went far to prove the natural aptitude which children, for the most part, possess for the cultivation of <i musical taste. At the close of this pleasing service, the chil- dren returned to their different chapels, and partook of the re- freshment provided for them. In the evening of the day, a tea party was held at most of the respective places of worship, when tlie teachers and friends sat down to the enjoyment of that social and friendly intercourse which such meetings are well adapted to inspire and cherish. The children of the National Schools also walked their number was very large. STOW FAIR.—This fair was held on Thursday, and in the early part of the day there was some business done t he show of cattle which was not so large as on formei occasions was deficient in fat beasts particularly. Store oxen and good graziers sold well; best beef went off at 6Jd. pei lb. The sheep pens were well niied best mutton in the wool 6.1. out öd. per lb. There was a very large number of good Irish sheep which met with a dull sale, few changing owners, although the prices asked were much lower than they havt lately been. The horse fair was large; as usual very few gool: ones, the rest all screws. Not many sold. The pleasure fail was very well attended, and the children and sight loving folks were gratified by several very handsome looking show booths where Mr. Merryman played off his jokes to the infinite satisfac- tion of beholders. Thechastedamesdressedinsitvertissueand chaplets of roses, who usually dance on the stages in front of the booths, appeared to waltz on the present occasion with more than ordinary facility and ease, being unencumbered with any inconvenient longitude of apparel; and the curtailment of gauze affording an unusually extensive view of their fair proportions, the youths who were attracted in crowds by the delicate exhi bition, gazed with delight on the flaunting danseuses as they expressed by the eloquence of attitude eve'y phase of the ten- der passion. There were several booths large and small in which the good things of life were to be had in abundance, by those who had uoncy to spare, and the number of these, con- sidering the times, appeared to be extremely large, the booths being all filled up to an advanced hour with wassailers of high and low degree. On the whole Stow fair presented much the same features as on former occasions, tlye only alteration we observed was, that the scene of thoughtlessness and folly was changed from the field on the left hand side of the road which has immemorially been honoured by this annual celebration, to one on the right adjoining Caira, which was furnished by Mr. Lewis Edwards, our distinguished mayor, who was very active throughout the day in preserving the peace. Messrs. Mooney and Scard, the renters of the old field, we understand have lost £36. by the successful competition of Mr. Edwards. The Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas, has been pleased toappoint Mr. Thomas Wool lett, Town Clerk, 01 Newport, to be one of the perpetual com- missioners for taking the acknowledgement of deeds by married women, under the act of abolishing fines and recoveries, CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Tuesday evening an inquest was held by W. Brewer, Esq., coroner, and a respect- able jnry, on Ihe body of a child named Edward Hendy, who was drowned on Sunday evening. By the evidence, it appealed that the deceased, who was between four and five years of age, returned home from a Sunday school, on Sabath evening, about four o'clock, at which time it was seen by ita mother, and about six o'clock it was found in the Canal dead. It is supposed that the poor child went to play by the Canal bank, and falling in by accident lost its life.—Verdict, Found Drowned. Tuesdsy next the birth-day of our gracious Queen will be kept as a holiday at the custom house in this town. DENTAL SURGERY.—Our readers will notice in another part of the paper Mr. H. Motely's parting address. His present visit will terminate on the evening of the 28th. We need say no more to those who may require his assistance FATAL ACCIDENT.—Daniel Lyons, aged 19, a breaksman on the TaflfVale Railway, was killed on Tuesday night, in consequence of falling on the line, from a red ore waggon whilst asleep. Both legs were crushed to atoms. Verdict—Accidental death. Landafi fair was as attractive as ever, and better Verdict—Accidental death. Landafi fair was as attractive as ever, and better conducted than heretofare this year. The attendance, however, was not large. NOT UP TO TRAP.—A correspondent has fur- nished us with the statement of a veiy singular occurrence that lecently took place in a neighbouring county, but which we I decline inserting in its circumstantial form, at least, for the pre- sent. It appears that a certain gay Lothario, in high life, of Dou Juan propensities, and not duly influenced by the sacred obligation of the tanth commandment, having been smitten by Cupid's darts, elanced from the bright blue eyes of an humble cottager's wile. Darts, which much surer wouuds impart than those That formerly were shot from Parthian bows, importuned this Laura of humble life in vain but on a luck. less occasion, last week, The moon hid her light I From Heaven that night. He bent his steps to his enslaver's door, on the information that the gude man was awa, and after the serenade Wake, dearest, wake," lie essayed to open the door-latch by introducing his finder when, to use an exclamation of Byron, O! blood and thunder, and oh blood and ouni." off was cut the offending finger by the knife of the indignant hushaftd Off started poor Juan, with hut nine tingem, roaring oallhat the Chartist* wer# coming 1 WdiifKlfTMiOdlhf fii)ger I was nett day found in a g»rd«Rt CAPTURE OF A HORSE STEALER AND £ XTRA« otiDittARlr EsfcAffc.—On the. tiiefit af Wednesday, the 11th inst., a bay mare was stolen from the field of Mr. W. Herbert, near Pontypoo). She was missed as early as five o'clock in the morning of Thursday, and being fair-day at Crickhovyell, Mr. H. started to the fair, thinking she might be there offered for sale. His expectations were realised, for soon after his arrival he discovered his marer The man apparently not knowing the owner, Mr. H. asked the price, and was told £ 16.; and other questions being answered, he o/lered £ t(j. this was refused, and he walked to a friend standing near, and requested him to keep in an apparent deal with the man, whilst he obtained a policeman. This functionary of the law was soon procured, when Mr. H. claimed his mare, and gave the man into custody. He was immediately taken before the magistrates, and remanded until Friday, to give Mr. H. an opportunity of bringing his man, who had seen the mare safe in the field between 9 and 10 o clock on Wednesday night, and the fellow was duly handed over to the safe custody of the police of Crickbowtll. On Fri- day morning Mr. H. and his man accordingly proceeded before the magistrates, and the prisoner was brought up, and after an examination, Was ordered to be taken before the PontVpooi bench of magistrates, where the felony had been committed. Of course it was expected that the man would have been brought down at once, then only about 12 o'clock and the distance but sixteen miles. But Mr. Policeman Day really begged to be excused from taking him down until the next day, as an old friend of his, a brother chip," was defunct, and he particu- larly wished to attend at the setting of his springe in the last dotigi tough, having much fellow feeling with his brother doughy for both their crusts had fallen in the mutahlt things of ttisxvorld, when attempting to carryj>n their proper avoca- tions. Mr. H. resisted this by every means in his power, point- tag out the great inconvenience and loss to himself and friend, I a respectable witness, who had business of importance to trans- acl a' ^oefgavenny fair, the next day. But it was all of no avail; the baker policeman knew how to work the magisterial dough, and he accordingly moulded them to his purpose. The prisoner was confided to his custody the sequel will shew how safely he kept him. As soon as they left the magistrates, Mr. H., notllkmg the cage to stand over, which would be losing another day for all parties in Pontypool, was remonstrating on the subject' when the true objection of the policeman came out, by his saying— Besides, I have a lot of warrants I wish to serve to-day and if I let any one else have them to serve to day, it will be pounds out of rny pocket—and some one else will be reaping the profit, and I have all the trouble Thus matters stood, and he walked his prisoner off to keep him safe, in the same lock-up house that he had kept him in the day and night before. Not half-an-hour had etapsud, when this baker. policeman reported to the magistrates a cock and bull story" of the prisoner having effected his escape, bv pulling down a fire-grate, which was regularly built up in the cell, and with this beating off the large lock on the ceil door, and also some- how returning a large bolt, which ought to have been let down into the door from a room above and having effected all this in that short space of time, in the middle of the day, and with ^considerable noise, he then put on his hat, and having ex- claimed, Biscuit bakers as policemen for ever quietly bade the ginger-bread prison and the biscuit baker's custody, a hearty Guewell, and walked off through Crickhowell at his leisure. Wpon the magistrates hearing this ta'e, a lot of special consta- bles, who were there for the fa'r. were ordered immediately to assist, and scour the country in pursuit. A way they went, bent on retrieving the character of the police of Crickhowell- for Mr. Herbert had thrown out some sly hints, if the prisoner had been left to his care, or if he had once been under the key of MI. John Robert, of Pontypool, he would have given him leave to escape if he could. After getting pretty warmly upon the scent for some time, the never-to-be-forgotten Crickhowell police succeeded in pouncing upon their game again, and re- captured the identical prisoner. He was brought up the town with a strong guard, and they were about to proceed into the Cambria public-house with him, when some one, either jo- cosely, or else an accomplice, exclaimed, that is the wrong man"—when this blight sample of police said, Well, sure, if it is the wrong man, we must let him go;" and the prisoner protesting he was not the right man, was, by these bright func. tionaries of the law, permitted to take his second departure in peace. Soon after, having discovered that they had been de- ceived, and given the real "Simon Pure" his liberty, they began a second hunt; but in this they were completely at fault, and the prisoner, no doubt, was laughing heartily in his sleeve, to see the magistrates foil the prosecutor, by not sending him at once to Pontypool-that the policeman had got over the ma- gistrates—and he had done the police, and consequently beaten the lot. Comment on these facts would be superfluous. The anniversary of the Sabbath school, at the English baptist chapel, Abersychan, was held on Sunday last, the 15th instant, when the Rev. W. Rogers, of Dudley, preached three very impressive and eloquent sermons, in which he ably advocated the claims of Sabbath schools, and notwith- standing the depressed state of the neighbourhood the collec- tions were larger than last year. On Tuesday, 200 teachers and children took tea together in the chapel, which was provided by the kind liberality of the teachers, and other benevolent friends in the congregation. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. S. Price, the superintendent, and one of the teachers, who had been a scholar in the school. All seemed to be highly de- lighted with the enjoyment of the evening. Too much praise cannot be given to the superintendent and the teachers of this school for the great interest which they have taken in the edu- cation of the young, especially at the present time, when it is impossible for many of the workmen to send their children to a week day school. MONMOUTH CRICKET CLUB.—The return match between the members of the legal profession, and the omnibi took place on Tuesdajjjast, when there was a strong muster on both sides. The ftfrmer were anxious to regain their lost laurels, the latter to complete their victory, and each party j proceeded to business in right good earnest. The following is | the score:—Legalites, 1st inns. 109; 2nd inns. 31 140.] Omnibi, 1st inns. 69; 2nd inns. 69—138. The former • winning with six wickets to go down. The deciding match will be played in the course of next month, when a good day's play is anticipated, both sides being equally confident, backing themselves at even bets. On Monday night last, a large rick of hay belonging to J. R. N. Norton, Esq., of Monmouth, was set on fire at the farm of that gentleman in the Buckholt. The offenders have not been discovered. As there was no supply of water near the premises, the rick was entirely consumed. Monmouth Whitsun fair was held on Tuesday last, but the quantity of stock was very limited. Beef was worth 6d. per lb. and fat sheep 5}d. per lb. The Monmouth Auxiliary Weslevan Missionary Society held its anniversary on Wednesday evening last, the Rev. Mr. Armett in the chair. The Rev. Messrs. Farrar, of Bristol, and Griffiths, of Gloucester, attended as a deputation. and gave lengthened details of the society's operations. The meeting was also addressed by the reverend chairman, and the llev. Messrs. Bolus and Hobson. On Monday last, the benefit clubs belonging to the Herefordshire House, Fountain, and Bull Inns at Mon. mouth, celebrated their anniversaries at their respective club rooms. Having formed a procession, and accompanied with their bands and banners, they proceeded to St. Mary's Church, where divine service was performed by the Rev. G. Roberts. The members afterwards dined at their several inns. CHURCH RATE SEIZURES.—On Friday last, four seizures for this obnoxious impost, were made on the premises of Messrs. E. Richards, W. Vaughan, R. Fuller, and M. Wilde, at Monmouth. This is one of the recent methods which the establishment uses for regaining to her pale the members of the dissenting community. The injustice of the tax is only equalled by the unchristian means used foi its exaction. TINTERN ABBEY—The cause of temperance in this place, has been much advanced by a series of meetings lalely held. On Monday last, a tea party took place, the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Chepstow, presiding, when a numerous aDd very respectable company assembled. The rev. chairman having opened the meeting by singing and prayer. Mr. Dodd, of Chepstow, Mr. Furney, jun., Monmouth, and Mr. Smith, of eyf severally addressed the compaoy, who heard with great attention and apparent interest the statements of the speakers. Many of those who compose the ranks of the Tintern Total Abstinence Society are remarkable exemplifications of rhe value of the principles. Not a few of those whose names were cast out as evil, and to whom infamy and reproach deservedly at- tached, are now cheering memorials of the efficiency of that xystem which claims the suffrages of every moralist and every Christian and while ignorance would laugh it to scorn or prejudice spurn it with contempt, these, the valued trophies of its power, vindicate its claims, and at'est its excellence. Of couise, here as elsewhere much misapprehension and prejudice exist; but it is delightful in what has already been accom. plished, to anticipate far greater and better things, and )o read, as we trust we can, the earnest of a glorious realization of our hopes—the more general recognition and wider extension of that which, in itself, we regard as one of the harbingers of the pre- dicted period, When wickedness shall no longer run down our streets like water, but even upon (lhe bells on the horses shall be holiness to Ihe Lord." RAISING THE WIND.—At the Merthyr Petty Sessions, George Evans, of Merthyr, shoemaker, was charged by J. James, Esq., registrar of births, deaths, and marriages, for that district, and Mr. Roger Williams, reReving officer for Merthyr, with obtaining a burial certificate under the following circumstances:—It appeared that on Thursday the 5th instant, Evans applied at the register office for a burial certificate, staling that his daughter Ann, a little girl about six years of age was dead. Mr. James furnished him with Ibe certlficale, which Evans presented to Mr. Williams, stating he had not the means of burying the child, who gave him an oider to the paiish sexton, desiring him to do his part of the work without lemuneration from the bearer, and another order to the parish undertaker, to supply him with a coffin on the same terms. 00 presenting the order to the undertaker he hinted that a few shillings would be of great service to him in lieu of the coffin. This exciting suspicion, an enquiry was instituted, when the little girl was found to be alive and well, and that the whole tale was a fabricanon ot the father with a view of fraudulently obtaining money. Evans when asked what he had to say, stated that he was very poor, or he would not have made the attempt: he was remanded. COLEIORD.—Meetings of a very interesting cha- racter have been held here during the early part of the week, in connexion with the Baptist Chapel. On Sunday, the 15th, sermons were preached, morning and evening, on behalf of the Sunday Schools that in the morning by the minister of the chapel, and that in the evening by ourd respecte friend Mr. Loder, Independent minister, of Monmouth. The afternoon was occupied with a public examination of the children, by the pastor, on the history of Samuel, when the children, by the answers they gave to extemporaneous questions, evinced great diligence on the part both of teachers and scholais, by their correct knowledge of many interesting portions of Scripture. In the same place, on Monday afternoon, tea was provided on a very generous scale for both teachers and pupils, when not less than 50 of the former and 400 of the latter were present. 1 his meeting was enlivened by the addresses of some of the friends, and by the introduction of some interesting extracts from the Report of the London Sunday School Union. On Wednesday, the attendants and other friends to the chapel 531 down to tea, upwards of 300 in number; the principal object of which meeting was the liquidation of a debt of £100, with which this place of worship is at present incumbered, by the medium of collecting cards which were then distributed. These meetings have been marked by the order and kind feeling which they evinrpd, -and induce us wish them Cad's speed tri tM WQi> may have undsrufciB?

FOREST ot DEAN CRICKEt meeting 011 the members of this Club toot place ott Wednesday, fnCote- ford; where the meetings will in future be held, to establish it on a permanent and well regulated footing. We heartily wish them success. FOREST OF DEAN.—An extensive system of sheep stealing, has prevailed for some time in the neighbouihood of baint Briavels. For the last two mooths the average number has been ohe a week, and the flocks of Mr. J. D. Howell, Mf. T. Bullock, and Mr. Page have been :< nosg- the plundered ones. On Wednesday morning se'nnight, another sheep was missed by Mr. Page—(one having been stolen from him eight days be- fore), when information was immediately conveyed to 'lie Po, lice Station at St. Briavels, and Sergeant ShÍèI, of the Glouces- ter County constabulary, with Police Constable Onion, accom- panied Mr. Page in the search, and having ascertained that a barge had goiie down the Wye On the previous evening, to Brockwear, \vent in quest of her. In following the side of the river, they succeeded in iecdvering a number of pieces of the skin of a sheep, which had been cut up srtiall, and thrown into the water and on putting them together, no doubt remained as to their forming part of the skin of the missing sheep. At Brockwear, they learned that the barge was the property of the respectable firm of Messrs Allaway and Co., of the Lydbrook Works, and that she was in the charge of a man named Edw. Ward, who was tha captain that she had discharged the cargo the same night and returned to Monmouth that morning. Sliiel and Onion then went to Mdnmoiithj and having procured the assistance of Sergeant Fuller, took the captain, crew, and bow hallers into custody. They were conveyed before the Monmouth authorities, but the offence having been committed in Glouces- tershire, they had no jurisdiction. Four of Mr. Whi'ing's post horses, with postillions, were then attached to the prison omnl. bus and under the care of the police, they were removed the same night to the Station-house at Colefoid. On the following day they underwent examination before P.J. Ducarrel, and Alexander Gibbon, Esqrs when evidence was adduced, of the strongest circumstantial character, which principally went to piove that the pieces of skin found were part of that taken from the carcase of Mr. Page's sheep,—that two legs, two shoulders, a neck, and other joints of mutton were found concealed in a bag in the after cabin of the barge; that a piece of meal had been torn from one of the legs, exactly corresponding with a piece adhering to the skin, and which fitted exactly to the part, —that the meat was not cut with the skill of a butcher—and also, that there was a kettle in the cabin, in which mutton had been recently boiled, and in which some scraps were still left. Ward, the captain, admitted the fact, in his defence, that Chas. Whitcombe, Thomas Fluck, and William Williams, three bow halliers who had come on board at one o'clock on the night the sheep was atolen, brought a bag with them something of the size and bulk of that in which the mutton was found hut ihe night being foggy, he could not distinguish what it was, and it being an usual circumstance, for them to bring in two days pro. visions, he did not trouble to ascertain the contents. Though little doubt remained as to the whole of the party having been perfectly cognizant of what was going on, the evidence was not strong enough to convict, and the magistrates directed Edward Ward. Benjamin Hunt, John Davies, William Golder, Stephen Jerrard, Thomas Dayton, and George Hughes to be discharged and the three before mentioned, Chas. Whitcomb, Thomas Fluck, and William Williams were fully tommitted for trial. The extent of the depredations committed along the banks of the river Wye, by the crews and halliers of the barges is almost incredible, and the owners of them cannot be too particular who they have in their employ. When taken into custody, the whole of the prisoners, with the exception of Hunt, were in a state of intoxication. ern connection with this affair, we are glad to announce, that the inhabitants of Lydbrook, have in- corporated themselves with the Ruardean association for the de- tection and prosecution of felons, and by united exertion, and a fund raised by subscription, will endeavour to protect the pro- perty of themselves and neighbours. Such societies in small districts, are of vast importance, and we do not know where one is more railed for, than St. Briavels. So many robberies, then, would not be quietly blown over, without being known beyond the neighbouring Station-house, thus inspiring the de- predators with a spirit af lawless confidence. We say, then, to the farmers, look after your own property.

CHARTIST MEETING, ABERGAVENNY.
CHARTIST MEETING, ABERGAVENNY. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. Sin,—1 trust your accustomed impartiality will induce you to allow me to occupy a small space in your valuable columns. I should have taken no notice, hut have treated with silent con- temp', the envenomed attack of this partizan senbe, had it noi been for the palpable untruths it contained, knowing, Sir, that our townsmen are too candid to countenance such an unprincipled assailant. Your correspondent ttates there were from eighty to ninety present, the fact is, the room is capable of holding 350. and that it was three pans full he must readily allow. Again he says, the schoolmaster made a short speech I merely intro- duced the appointed lecturer, whom he evasively attempted (by making s<*d havoc of the Queen s Enghsh.) to eulogise. I would advise your correspondent in future to practise a more large and generous charity, and to let his conduct be regulated by right reason, attended with a christian spirit, for nothing can sink a man lower in the estimation of his fellow men, than the base attempt to enhance his own abilities by depreciating other men. And when he goes to report again, to remember the old adage, to tell the truth and shame the devil." I) Abergavenny, Yours, &c., May 12, 1842. THE SCHOOLMASTER.
. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire…
To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. Sin, I noticed in your valuable paper of the 7th instant, a tetter signed J. R. A." I perfectly acquiesce with him in every point. Some persons may say, The young men in the shops wish to have play hours, &c." Such persons unjustly wrong us in their suppositions. Our sole aim is our impiove- ment, we think to obtain by enrolling ourselves as members of the Mechanics' Institute in Pontypool, which valuable institu- tion is closed for want of young men to support it. If our employers would allow us to close at seven or half-past seven o'clock, we should be able to join it. Some of our employers may object ;o it, by saying it is not an usual thing to do so. I will prove it is. In London they close at seven and half-past in Paris they close at five; and, last not least, the Newport shopkeepers close at eight o'clock. The public would not be inconvenienced at all by it, provided they had due notice given them. I hope some abler person than myself will take it in hand, and do his best to effect this desideratum.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET.— May 18, 1842.—The Su- gar Market continues inactive, and will probably continue so until the London market assumes a moreaettled appear. ance. The few sales effected have been in favour of the buyers. The Iron and Coal Trades in Shropshire are at present in a very depressed state, without any prospect of amend ment. Some of the works are altogether stopped, and no- tice has been given by several other masters to reduce the wages of their workmen, particularly by the Old Park Company, of which Mr. Botfield is the head. These re- ductions have thrown idle, or brought to the brink of poverty, a great many workmen and their fa- milies, whose condition has excited the commisseration of the gentry and tradesmen of the district around Welling- ton, where most of the misery exists; and a meeting of the rale-payers is called for Monday next, to consider what measures it is advisable to take to afford employment to those persons thrown out of work in consequence of the contemplated reduction of wages and stoppage of the works." The disturbances at Btlston and Dudley are quelled but the slate of trade is daily getting worse, and ihreatening violent consequences —Shrewsbury Chronicle. A few mornings ago, about three hundred tons of rock, on the south stde of the river Wear, above the bridge, fell down into the river, and now assumes a very dangerous appearance. Providentially no injurious effects resulted to life or property,as no vessels of any kind were near the lime.—Newcastle Journal A Steam Bridge, from the manufactory of Messrs. Acraman and Morgan, of Bristol, was towed into Mtlford last week by one of the Bristol steam-tugs, to await a more powerful boat to tow it round to Portsmouth, between which place and Gosport it U intended to be emploped •phe Jupiter (a), arrived on Wednesday f0f that purpose.

DISCOVERY ot TâË SOFIV OF…
DISCOVERY ot TâË SOFIV OF THE LATE 1\IR. NATHAN SHELLARD, OF MONMOUTH. Our readers will remember that in November last, we reo tofded the fact of the sudden absence from his home, (If the tfbove trniiappv man, who was missed trom his bed by hill IOn about three (fcloell: Ii; .he morning of the 21st of that month and from the cirCiimsfanee of hrs having been previously ver\ dejected, fears were naturally eti'eriained of bis hniolC de* troyed himsjtf. There happened at fffat time Iff be a fresh in the river ftionnow, which ffows behind the house of the dr ceased (and to which the footmarks of the poor creature werr traced), which, continuing for liamt time afterwards, rendertcJ all efforts to discover the body, which were anremittingly made. perfectly fruitless. On Tuesday last, however, Mr, John Howells, a paiiile: (J'f the town, went with his son, a lad ol about 6 years of age, in his freckle, to the old mouth of the river Monnow, which is a dead pool, to ctft some sticks for gilt den purposes, from the banks. As they were p'receeding, the child seeing a large object in the water, exclaimed, Oh father, there is Mr. Shellard, in the river." The father, fancying it was some dead quadruped, did not notice his son's remark until, on his return, an hour afterwards, the child again made a si- milar exclamation. This exciting Howell's curiosity, he pushed the object with a stick, and making a second effort, he drew a pocket handkerchief Hortl what proved to be the body of poor Shellard. Howells immediately procured assistance, and the deceased was conveyed, in afrticst a state of decomposition, to a stable adjoining Chippenham Mead. The btfly mark by which the body could be identified was a cut id the forehead, but the features were ghastly and indistinct. The handkerchief which Howells drew from the body was identified by the friends of the deceased, as also was the circumstance of an under small clothes, found on the body, and which Shellard invariably wore. It is a very singular circumstance, that about four months since, Howells was at the same spot, and seeing the body, which he mistook for a stump, he pushed against it with his paddle, as did also another person at a subsequent period, under the same impression. The legs of the deceased were erect, and sunk in the sand nearly'to the knees the body was in an inclined position, with the head sunk on the chest and being covered with dirt and sand, presented no appearance ot a human form. But for the singular impression produced on the mind of Howell's child, the body would hale remained there a considerable time longer. It had been in the water six months, within four days. The deceased was a member of a benefit club, but as no previous proof existed of his death, the relatives could not claim the usual payment, but which will now be paid, to the amount of upwards of £20. The inquest was held before Thomas Hughes, Esq., coroner, on Wednesday, in the house of Mr. Wm. Greenby. tea-dealer, immediately opposite the stable in which the body was depo- sited. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body, which presented a shocking spectacle, and on their retuin the following evidence was adduced:- Nathaniel Shellard, sworn: Deceased was his father; he was 52 years of age; believed he had not been seen alive since the 22nd of November; slept with his father, and missed him about 3 o'clock on the morning of that day deceased was diessed when he went aw^y: witness immediately searched for him, but could not find him saw some footmarks down to the edge of the river, which runs along the garden of the Vine Tree public-house deceased must have crossed over a ditch from his own garden to get into that of the Vine Tree there was the appearance of a slip at the edge of the bank witness also caused others to search for bim, but without effect was not aware how he got into the water, or how he came by his death deceased was not in his right mind; his insanity was caused by a loss of money he sustained some time before, and aggravated by the death of his wife, the mother of witness, three weeks prior to his being missed deceased had been confined for about four months in a lunatic asylum, previously, and had been at libeity for about a month, when he was missed. James Howells, painter, sworn I went down the Monnow in a truckle on Tuesday evening, a little after seven o'clock, accompanied by my son, who is 6 years of age, and saw the body in the water it had the appearance of a stub the boy said, Father, there is Mr. Shellard but I did not believe it was him. I then went on the island, where I stayed about an hour: on my return, the boy again called my attention to the body, and I touched it with a stick, when I found a part of it bare: on turning it over, a handkerchief fell from one of the pockets. [The handkerchief was produced a cotton one, and nearly rotted to piecea.1 On finding it was a body, I went and gof assistance, and it was got out of the water. This being the whole of the evidence, the jury, under the di. rection of the coroner, returned a verdict of Found dead in the river."

This is an error. It will be seen on reference to the MM LlN of the 27th Nov., that he was missed on Sunday, the 21 st.
BLANAFON IRON WORKS.
BLANAFON IRON WORKS. ODDFELLOWS HIP. Whit-Monday being the anniversary of the Prince Howell the Good lodge of Odd Fellows of the M. U., the Victoria and Prince Albert Lodge being desirous of demonstrating theit attachment to the order without embarrassing their funds, joined the Prince Howell in the procession and business of the day, and attended divine worship at the Baptist (Ebenezer) Chapel, where an appropriate discourse was delivered by brother Rev. Owen Michael. The weather being so beautifully fine, added greatly to tht pleasure of the day. The cheerful peal which ever and anon was wafted on the breeze from tbat neat and elegant structure Blaenafon Church, together with the harmony of the Garn. dyrris baDd. induced the procession to take an extensive rangt to enjoy the pleasure of the day, and in their route called a\ the residence of John Griffiths, Esq., who, with bis usual respect to the Blaenafon workmen, regaled each member with a good goblet of excellent ale. The dinner was admirably got up, and excellent in its kind and did great credit to the host Beddoe. After dinner H. Scrivenor, Esq., the manager of the works, kindly took the chair and was supported by J. C. HIli and Richard Steel, Esqrs. Mr. S., with bis usual urbanity and kind- feeling, presided with ability and effect over the meeting, aDO entered at great length into the privations and difficulties of the times, and honestly stated the true position of affairs, and showed that bad as the times were on the poor, it was equall) so on the capitalists who embaiked their property in works, and depended on a reasonable return for tbeir money, aDd tha from sympathy to the poor many works were carried on to the injury of the proprietors, but he still hoped for better days, and trusted that prosperity was again dawning on our manu- factures generally. His speech was well received, and cordially responded to by the meeting. When the healths of the Rev. Mr. Jones, minister ot Blaenafon, and the Rev. Mr. Michael were given, the chairman remarked that although a member of the Church of England, and an admirer of that institution, he felt happy on all oc. casions to render all the good in his power to other sects and denominations, and on that principle he attended the proces- sion that day to the Baptist chapel. The Rev. Mr. Jones said it gave him much pleasure then to state that during the time he has lived here, there has not beeii a single misunderstanding between him and any of his dissent ing brethren, and that only in externals the difference existed he expressed himself much pleased with the invitation of tht brethren. Th £ Rev. Mr. Michael returned thanks in Welsh. His address was much applauded. When the health of that talented young gentleman, J. C- Hill, Esq., was given, he spoke with much warmth and ad miration, and with his accustomed energy roused a feeling o emulation through the brotheihood. R. Steel, Esq., rose on the like ocasion, and with his plain and unsophisticated dealing dwelt largely on the benefits 01 Odd Fellowship, and strongly urged that some p an may be suggested of making the benefits of the order more generally known and appreciated. The G. M. of the district Rev. Roger Jones spoke with good enect, and introduced the resolutions of the last meeting of P. G. in reference to the Widow and Orphans Fund, and stated the views and objects of the institution, which wa^ rapturously applauded. C. S. Leadbetler in rising felt happy in the proceedings of the day, and entered fully into the merits of Odd Fellowship, and showed the good that has come under his notice during the time he bad been a member. He gave a cheering account 01 the suceess and prosperity of the institution. At the time of hi" initiation, ten years ago, this lodge numbered 541 there are now 3130, and upwards of 220,000 members. P. G. Israel Morgan, in acknowledging a toast, said he felt much pleasure in advocating the principles of Odd Fellow- ship, and regretted its benefits weie not more generally known. He thought that what had been witnessed that day bore him out when he said, that no nobleman in the land could feei himself degraded in a society so well conducted, and founded 00 principles so just and honourable. It was to be regretted that noblemen and gentlemen did not come forward to support an institution whose sole object it is to do good and alleviate the distress of mankind. P. G. Jno. Jones spoke with great effect in favour of the principles of Odd Fellowship. The cause of the Widow and Orphan's Fund was feelingly explained and suppoited with great enthusiasm, and we trust the cause will meet with encouragement and support generally. At times like the present, to find an unanimous feeling amongst a society of workmen to raise a fund which has for ib object to keep the widows and orphans from the poor house, U a virtue of rare quality, and deserves well of the public a' large. Mr. Scrivinor handsomely presented the society with two guineas, and promised to continue it annually, as be con- sidered its object of the most laudable description. The meeting was addressed by brothers W. H. George, W. A. Phillips Fisher, and others; and we may truly say it was a feast of reason and a now of soul."

Wc beg to stale for the information of such of our rea- ders as are interested in the association for the promotion of the fine arts in Scotland, that the annual general meet- ing of the members will be held on Saturday next, the 28th of May, at a quarter before one o'clock, in the Assem I bly Rooms, George-street, Edinburgh, when a committee of management, a secretary and iieasurer, will be appointed for the ensuing year. Each subscriber being a member, and enlilled to a vote in su<:h meeting. Upwaids of £40,000. have been subscribed for the pur- pose of erecting a new Roman Catholic Cathedral in the city of York. The ground and buildings have already been purchased. They extend from the Holy Trinity Church to the Bar, upon which site a monastery formerly stood. The works are to be commenced immediately. In South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Derbyshire wo- men are excluded from the iron mines; in the two lattc also, few children are required: in the former the propor- tion of children employed is seventy boys to a hundred men. From the coal mine statistics,-it appears ihat the average term of life of the miners is 40 years; and that existence is shortened of life by this method by thirteen years. We rejoice very much to see that the men of Notting- "ctm will not be parties to the disgraceful compromises by which they were made over to the corruptionists. They wi ) be neither Mr. Walter's nor Sir G. H. Larpent's pur- chased slaves. Success to theirstruggle for independence! We hope that they will return the amiable, the humane, the enlightened Joseph Stwrge, by a large majority.—Tht <
